testing events dispatch

Question

newbie question.

The class I want to test dispatch events, how do I test for this the proper way? I only see tests about the result returns when calling a class ( whether the return is asynchrone or not, that's another topic I would say), but I think it's fair to also tests that events are properly fired isn't it? or am I going the wrong way?

Thanks,

Jean

Jean,If you just want to test that an event has been dispatched, you only need to use addEventListener.[Test]public function someTest():void { var someObj:SomeObjThatDispatchesEvents = new SomeObjThatDispatchesEvents(); someObj.addEventListener( "someEvent", someFunc ); someObj.causeEventToOccur();}private function someFunc( event:Event ):void {//assert something based on the state of things}
